MUNA mun's low orbit sat

[mrrpamplemousse]

Hi, this is just to know the attitude of the highest mountain of the moon, I would like to put a satellite in low orbit but I do not want it encounters a mountain.

The highest mountains I've encountered have been well over 3 KM high last I checked, but that was back in 0.14. I think they might be way taller now.

It where on mun?

The mountains are different sizes everywhere, but quite a few of them seem to be at least 3 km high. Knowing the exact location of the tallest mountain is next to impossible without sufficient tools (the ISA Mapsat is the best tool we have right now). My advice to you is just don't go below 3.5-4 km.

The highest that I'm aware of is ~3400 m high. You might be able to get away with a lower orbit (2-3 km) if the sat is at a sufficiently low inclination.

Just some advice, stay at 6km when orbiting Minmus. It was quite a challenge with half an EVA pack to rendezvous with the return vehicle on a collision course with Minmus.

Thanks you guy! Now, I can found munolite!

(I don't want ISA maping)
